I'm perplexed as to why I'm not able to download the entire contents of some JSON responses from FriendFeed using urllib2. >>> import urllib2 >>> stream = urllib2.urlopen('http://friendfeed.com/api/room/the-life-scientists/profile?format=json') >>> stream.headers['content-length'] '168928' >>> data = stream.read() >>> len(data) 61058 >>...
I am creating a script using Python Mechanize that can login to a website and submit a form. However, this form has 3 submit buttons (Preview, Post, and Cancel). I'm used to only one button... This is the form: <TextControl(subject=Is this good for the holidays? Anyone know about the new tech?)> <IgnoreControl(threads=<None>)> <Tex...
EDIT: This question is invalid. Turns out a transparent proxy was making an onward HTTP 1.0 request even though urllib/httplib was indeed making a HTTP 1.1 request originally. ORIGINAL QUESTION: By default urllib2.urlopen always makes a HTTP 1.0 request. Is there any way to get it to talk HTTP 1.1 ? ...
I have configured a proxy using proxyhandler and sent a request with some POST data: cookiejar = cookielib.CookieJar() proxies = {'http':'http://some-proxy:port/'} opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler(proxies),urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookiejar) ) opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', "USER AGENT")] urllib2.install_opene...
The following code binds specified ip address to socket in main program globally. import socket true_socket = socket.socket def bound_socket(*a, **k): sock = true_socket(*a, **k) sock.bind((sourceIP, 0)) return sock socket.socket = bound_socket Suppose main program has 10 threads, each with a urllib2 instance running insid...
I currently use following code to decompress gzipped response by urllib2: opener = urllib2.build_opener() response = opener.open(req) data = response.read() if response.headers.get('content-encoding', '') == 'gzip': data = StringIO.StringIO(data) gzipper = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=data) html = gzipper.read() Does it handle de...
I need to create a secure channel between my server and a remote web service. I'll be using HTTPS with a client certificate. I'll also need to validate the certificate presented by the remote service. How can I use my own client certificate with urllib2? What will I need to do in my code to ensure that the remote certificate is corre...
I wish to retrieve the source of a website, that is dynamically generated upon clicking a link. The link itself is as below: <a onclick="function(); return false" href="#">Link</a> This stops me from directly querying for a URL that would allow me to get the dynamically generated website (urllib/2). How would one retrieve the source...

Hi. Got a test site that I'm fetching. The site uses the POST method, as well as cookies. (Not sure that the cookies are critical, but i'm inclined to think they are..) The app presents a page, with a "next button" to generate the subsequent pages. I've used LiveHttpHeaders/Firefof to determine what the post data should be in the query...

import urllib print urllib.urlopen('http://www.reefgeek.com/equipment/Controllers_&_Monitors/Neptune_Systems_AquaController/Apex_Controller_&_Accessories/').read() The above script works and returns the expected results while: import urllib2 print urllib2.urlopen('http://www.reefgeek.com/equipment/Controllers_&_Monitors/...
I want to get many pages from a website, like curl "http://farmsubsidy.org/DE/browse?page=[0000-3603]" -o "de.#1" but get the pages' data in python, not disk files. Can someone please post pycurl code to do this, or fast urllib2 (not one-at-a-time) if that's possible, or else say "forget it, curl is faster and more robust" ? Thanks ...
I'm using python to programatically download a zip file from a web server. Using a web browser, it's fine. I've written this (partial) script; response = urllib2.urlopen(url, data, 10) the_page = response.read() f = open(filename, 'w') f.write(the_page) f.close() The request succeeds and I get data. The problem is that the file I'm do...
I am making several http requests to a particular host using python's urllib2 library. Each time a request is made a new tcp and http connection is created which takes a noticeable amount of time. Is there any way to keep the tcp/http connection alive using urllib2? ...
In Python (2.5), should I use urllib or urllib2? What's the difference? They seem to do the same thing. (Bonus points, if I'm using Google App Engine, does this change the answer?) ...
